A unique look at recidivism

Criminology texts are filled with discussions of recividism, usually defined as repeat criminal offending.

And media accounts of crime tend to focus on cases where a criminal is released from prison and then commits yet more crimes.

And almost all of is focused on street crime.


Thanks to Law.com, we get this look at what recidivism really is.

Take a look at corporate behavior, where greed is good and crime is normal. And normal again. And again.
